Bluff | Michael Kardos
3 posts | 8 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
The magicians job is to create a mysteryan unbridgeable gap between cause and effect. Michael Kardos brilliantly constructs his new novel Bluff as a magician would, delivering a perfectly calibrated performance of intrigue and, ultimately, astonishment. At twenty-seven, magician Natalie Webb is already a has-been. A card-trick prodigy, she started touring at seventeen, took first place at the World of Magic competition at eighteen, and never reached such heights again. Shunned by the magic world after a disastrous liaison with an older magician, she now lives alone with her pigeons and a pile of overdue bills in a New Jersey apartment. In a desperate ploy to make extra cash, she follows up on an old offer to write a feature magazine articleon the art of cheating at cards. But when she meets the perfect subject for her article, what begins as a journalistic gamble brings into question everything Natalie thinks she knows about her talent, and herself. Natalie is dazzled by the poker cheats sleight of hand and soon finds herself facing a proposition that could radically alter her fortuneto help pull off a $1.5 million magic trick that, if done successfully, no one will ever even suspect happened. With Kardos raising the stakes chapter after chapter, Bluff is a breathtaking work of suspense from a writer at the top of his game.

I wasn‘t sure going into this book what kind of story I was going to get. It‘s not too popular (just over 1,000 ratings) but maybe it should be since it really surprised me at how engaging it is. I would call it one of those effortless types of listens, a perfect palate cleanser.

Clwojick @ShelleyBooksie short and simple. Worth the listen since it was only 27 mins. 5y
